BANK 253 Restaurant and Nightlife

It is a wonderful local place to stop in for a bite to eat and have a beer. There was great conversation with the bartender and other customers at the bar. Yes, we would occasionally check our phones since we were business travelers. But we spent more time talking to each other.

Man, the food and service at this place was AMAZING. They had a meatloaf special for dinner, bacon wrapped and served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Chef’s kiss. I also ordered the Mac N Cheese and tots. They were very tasty. I finished off with bread pudding for dessert and it was to die for. 15 out of 10. My server Emmett was top notch too, great experience!

We had a date night on a Wednesday evening and it was a wonderful atmosphere and slow evening. Our server, Brandon,was very sweet, helpful, and accommodating for our visit.

All the food here is fantastic. I've never had a doubt that this is some of the finest dinning in town.

Great food and atmosphere!! Staff went out of their way to get us service both times we were there!! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this place to anyone in Pikeville. As a frequent traveler I am always looking for something quick, reliably good, and with enough variety to keep things interesting. Bank 253 checks all the boxes! They also have the best staff who are super friendly.

5/5 for food, atmosphere, people

Also, they make a killer wedge salad and a great steak.

Under the newer management, the food and service was excellent. I had the Buffalo chicken egg rolls, wow, they are wicked good. Halfway decent ipa selection that complements the domestic light beers. The burgers are fantastic and they will cook them to your liking (medium rare).

A short walk from the Hilton and worth every step,. Good food. & . Staff

The place is excellent in terms of the layout, the food is terrific and the sorrounding is clean. Our server is knowledgeable and attentive to our needs.

We went with a large group and our server was great. She kept everyone's drinks filled, the food was great. (We actually ate there two nights)

Great place with the best hired help I have see in a long long time, their so friendly and helpful. Their food is so very good, best meatballs I have ever ate at any bar or restaurant. I have been back many times and will be going back many more times. Their bouncer is so friendly.

Ashley and Sean are awesome and make for a very friendly atmosphere. Nice place for dinner and/or drinks on 2nd St.

Pork was great,service was top notch

I was in Town for a concert, went there to eat and had a few drinks before the show. Great food and service. Went back the next day for lunch before heading back home.

What can I say bad about this place? They have a great ever changing selection of beer on tap, awesome food, great customer service. Okay okay prices are kinda high probably more of a date night kinda place. But it fits because the place is beautiful on the inside with plenty of tv viewing area probably a good place to come watch the game. Overall I have been here 4 times and every time it has been awesome!

Paula is awesome!!! My wife and I are from Louisville and this is the best restaurant in Pikeville. Great food, great service. All dressings made from scratch. We honestly believe everything on the menu Is worth ordering, Good TVs to watch games...

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Buffalo chicken egg rolls are awesome as well as the soft pretzels for apps. Pork chops for main course were delicious as well!

Love it! Refined but not pretentious. The food is above average. The staff is polite and friendly. The prices are good. I fully expect you will enjoy it too.

Good under new owners is fresh and well done. Prices are not unreasonable for what you get. Wait staff is prompt and professional.

Food was amazing, drinks were cold and well mixed. What a pleasant surprise! Will definitely stop in next time we are un town
